Whew! I was worried about these boys for a bit. Up until a few weeks ago, Passion Pit have been M.I.A. since Manners in 2009, but until they announced their sophomore album, Gossamer and today we present their second single. Listen to “I’ll Be Alright,” the second single from Gossamer – it’s four and a half minutes completely stuffed with sound. Kids’ vocals, massive drum fills, stuttering samples, soaring vocals, ‘80s-style pulsating synth, phasers: you name it, it’s here. Gossamer is out July 23.
